Personal Expereince

Awful... They claim to be 5-star but Sheraton did not renew their contract from Feb 2013. The hotel is a decent 2.5 star hotel by Indonesian standards.
The room smell is awful, the bathroom is old and british style taps and the faucets are leaking. The rooms are big but the bed linen are full of stains and the air-con does not work properly. I changed rooms but they are all the same....
The website pictures are misleading, the rooms are old and the room inside are all falling apart. The lobby and the lounge are infested with mosquitoes, the lobby does not turn on their air-con in the morning and night... Its very hot and smelly.
A better choice of business hotel if anyone wants to stay in North Jakarta is Swissotel opposite this hotel and Novotel which is few mins drive from this hotel. Novotel opens into a local wholesale mall for the locals only but has many restaurants and convenient stores on their doorstep. Nice and friendly business hotel.
Avoid the Media hotel if possible, not worth the money and no value for your money. I would rate 3/10 and would not pay USD 45/night for this hotel including breakfast... Keeping the conditions of the room in mind...

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel

Swissotel opposite the Media hotel is worth
Novotel just a few mins drive from the Media hotel is worth. Both are business hotels value for money and located in North Jakarta and 10 mins by drive to Thamarin where Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia malls are located....

Room not properly cleaned!

I was told that this is one of the better hotel when it was managed by Sheraton. But the standard of service has gone so bad. The room and toilet was not cleaned at all when tissues paper on the toilet floor was not even cleared. They only make the bed and did not even rearrange the dressing table, which should normally be done. We have to ask for our towel twice when it was not replaced. There are too many mosquitoes at the lobby and the deli. The concierge is not very friendly and has be reminded many times. They have good amenities but poor services.
